Vocabulary Learning
The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the text describes what people do to stop the sickness. We use Simple Present for things that happen regularly or are true now.
Pattern: [Person/Group] + [Action]
- Government wants (to stop)
- People clean (water)
- Government gives (medicine)
Wait! Why the 'S'?
When we talk about one person or one group (he, she, it), we add an -s to the action word:
- The government gives... (One group)
- A teacher says... (One person)
But when we talk about many people, we use the base word:
- People clean... (Many people)
- Hospitals are... (Many hospitals)
